A Child’s Wedding

Writing
A 3D collage made with magazine clippings and dots of gold and silver paint shows a young girl wearing a white wedding dress and veil and holding a bouquet of white flowers. The girl is walking in a black and white courtyard among strings of gold lights and gold reflecting on the exterior walls of the buildings around her. Two young boys observe her from afar. The sky above is white and cloudy.
